COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Vår Majbock är en hyllning till den starka öltraditionen i byn Einbeck. 1 maj varje år avslutades bryggarsäsongen med en festival där byns 700 bryggare gjorde upp om turordningen för att få använda den gemensamma bryggpannan. Vår Majbock bryggs som traditionen bjuder på malt, humle, jäst och vatten. Sedan får den jäsa kallt och lagras länge. Resultatet är en stark öl med utpräglat maltig karaktär av högsta kvalitet.

omhper (15964) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - MAY 27, 2008
Bottled. Clear pale amber, rich compact head. Faint malt aroma. Sweet and soft, mildly malty with spun sugar and cotton. Low hop rate and bitterness. It’s on the sweet side of the style, and gives sugar too much field to play on, but the very soft mouthfeel is very pleasant.

MiP (11783) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - JUL 20, 2008
2008 Bottle, 6.5%. Distinctly buttery aroma. Clear dark amber colour. Almost no head. Luckily, the flavour has less butter than the aroma. A little anis feel in a good mouthfeel. Strangely enough, the flavour seems very clean apart from a little butter. Hint of sweet dark malts. Some raw liquorice in the very late aftertaste. The aroma is horrible, but the flavour seems OK at first. After a while it does get worse, though.
